Andrews Automation takes the strain out of materials handLing all day... Everyday!

Pallet Conveyor Systems

Here at Andrews Automation Ltd, we have become one of the UK’s leading manufacturers and providers of high quality materials handling solutions. Our flagship products, which we have become synonymous with in recent years, are our Pallet Handling Conveyor systems.

In terms of system design, we have an open book, a blank page. We have a broad product portfolio but no set or standard systems so ‘the sky is the limit’. Unlike many of our competitors, we believe in designing the best solution to suit the client’s needs and requirements which is why we start from a basic design concept and adapt the system to suit. Whether the client needs a system to fit in a small, tight space; or if there’s an abundant, unlimited amount of space, here at Andrews Automation Ltd we can design a functional and efficient system to fit.

We start off with a standard powered or non-powered design and work from there. Our pallet conveyors are available at bespoke widths, lengths and height. We can change the direction of travel with integrated turntables or cross-transfer chain conveyors, and well as make our systems bi-directional. We can transport pallets to different floor levels with the use of powered-top scissor lifts, as well as provide pallet profile checker systems to confirm the integrity of pallets stacks.

In addition to integrating pallet checkers, scissor lifts and turntables into our systems, we can also integrate pallet strapping and pallet wrapping solutions into our solutions. By integrating these value added products into our systems, our aim is to provide the most efficient, cost effective and simple solutions to many of the process issues our clients face on a day to day basis.

When finalising ideas for our solutions, our designers ensure that they conform to the latest safety legislation and where applicable, we design and supply all elements of safety control integration. As part of our design we incorporate loading stations with integrated ‘crash barriers’ and load guides, perimeter guarding and interlocks, light guards, sensors, e-stops, etc. and build these into the PLC design.

Our systems are designed in-house, mechanically built in-house, electrically built in-house, system tested in-house, and installed by our experienced installation team and engineers. From start to finish there is only ever one point of contact...Andrews Automation Ltd.

See what our clients say ...

Andrews Automation was asked about transporting loaded pallets up an incline to a separate part of a wood production facility. The client had reservations about the safety of an inclined system with the loads being of significant weight. Our solution was to supply a foot operated scissor lift to initially raise the pallet to the height of the target area, and then transport the load horizontally via a standard roller conveyor.

National Wood Producers

A client approached us and enquired for a powered conveyor solution, but had concerns about grip and slippage on standard steel roller conveyors. Andrews Automation supplied heavy duty rubber covered rollers to maximise the transportation grip. This created a much more reliable and safe solution, in addition to one very happy customer.

Packaging Company

Andrews Automation Ltd have recently completed the installation of seven robot palletising cells that are required to palletise tote bins at a rate of 900 totes per hour. Our design team set to work on designing a gripper head that would handle multiple totes in order to reach the required throughput. Our designers came up with a double-sided gripper head solution that collects totes in threes on one side of the gripper, and in fours on the opposite side. This allowed for the collection of multiple totes, plus it enabled us to create the required stacking pattern to maximise the pallet space and create a stable load.
What about the facility to automatically collect an empty pallet? Andrews Automation Ltd incorporated a ‘pallet grab’ facility to the side of the gripper head.
